Such innovation does not come overnight, and Fedora 24 is one big step on the road to the next generation of Linux distributions.

What is Ultimate Edition 5.0? Ultimate Edition 5.0 was built from the Ubuntu 16.04 'Xenial Xerius' tree using a combination of Tmosb (TheeMahn's Operating System Builder), almost completely re-written. Tmosb is also included in this release, allowing you to do the same. This release is a long-term supported (LTS) release, supported until the year 2019. This release is most certainly worthy of the Ultimate Edition title. Currently I have only built the tip of the iceberg, starting with a 64-bit 'Lite' based on MATE 1.14.1. I have full intentions of building a 32-bit of the same, a full variant based on GNOME, a Gamers edition, perhaps another Lite variant based off Xfce and, time permitting, a Developer's edition.
